Hello, I’ve written on here before, have severe health anxiety and had crisis team round my home in 2016 as couldn’t cope. Just started CBT after over a year of waiting. Am on Citalopram and propranolol. I had breast reduction 9 years ago, year later breast clinic for scar tissue and breast clinic (diagnostic mammo and scan), 2014 another lump so diagnostic mammogram and scan. 2016 another lump so scan then I felt another so diagnostic mammogram and another scan which again found cysts and scar tissue. 2 weeks ago another lump again, in scars from reduction. GP said it is very moveable, not at all worried, only sent me urgent due to my severe anxiety as anyone else routine. I was only there 15 months ago and now I have to go again. I feel physically sick and confined to my bed. I know this lump moves a lot like the others but still. I know my GP is always right but still. I’m also scared of microcalcifications and sneaky things on mammogram. The whole thing is traumatising. Sorry ladies, I know you have all been here too xx
Sorry to hear you have this anxiety, Demi, as ever it does not help when waiting for this sort of appointment.
Your gp sounds supportive & obviously, it all has to be checked out again, but as you’ve been seen recently, if anything is found it would be as early as it could be, so that’s good.
